Lisa Shannon, Gail MacKiernan, Barry Cooper and I
enjoyed the Glossy Ibis at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
this morning.  It was in the center area of the water
lily impoundments;  At one point it was flying around,
being harassmed by crows.  

We also saw a few Rusty Blackbirds off to the right as
we were walking down the beginning of the River Trail.
 Also there was a pair of Wood Ducks.  

As we were leaving we spied a few Black Vultures high
in the sky, along with a Red-tailed Hawk.  

There are five Great Blue Heron nests on/near the
north edge of the aquatic gardens.  These nests are
visible from US 50 a little to the west of the US
50/295 interchange.  On our way to K. A. G. one heron
was in attendence; on our way out I saw two herons
perched near the nests.
